Hi there!
II. Linear momentum of the system is zero.
This is an example of a RECOIL collision. With the Law of Conservation of Momentum, momentum remains constant before and after the collision.
Thus, the total momentum would also be equivalent to zero after the collision.
Explanation:
Let 
and 
The sum of the two vectors is
The difference between the two vectors can be written as
Average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 40 + 20 = 60km
total time taken = 10 + 5 = 15 minutes
Average speed = 60/15 = 4km/min
Answer:
R = 5.28 103 km
Explanation:
The definition of density is
ρ = m / V
V = m /ρ
Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body
The volume of a sphere is
V = 4/3 π r³
Let's replace
4/3 π r³ = m / ρ
R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π
The mass of the planet is
M = 5.5 Me
R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π
Let's reduce the density to SI units
ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³
ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³
Let's calculate
R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)
R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹
R = 0.528 10⁷ m
R = 0.528 104 km
R = 5.28 103 km
